SuperBowl Sunday-Who ya got?

VikingJuice · January 31, 2009, 09:48:39 PM

I think Pittsburgh is going to win but I'm rooting for the Cardinals anyway. I like Warner and Fitzgerald. I used to like Bolden but given his ill-timed public temper tantrum in the NFC Championship, I'm not so sure anymore.

Beefy · January 31, 2009, 10:32:25 PM

This may be the first Super Bowl I miss in ages. Even with the movie preview commercials I just don't feel up to the spectacle.

I hope I wake up feeling better tomorrow.

It's shaping up to the be the first SB ever that I've watched alone. I don't feel good enough to get out of the house and infect other people.

I've got $20 on Arizona.

I'm going skiing in the morning and hope to be back by the beginning. Even if I'm not, we will Tivo it and I can watch it a little delayed. 3:00 is way to early for the game anyway.

3:00 would be awesome, 6 is way too late.

I agree, 3:00 is too early and 6:00 is too late. 5:00 would be perfect. The only thing that sucks about being here is that I'm no longer in the perfect time zone.

Jennifer Hudson was great.

Cool that the General was there for the flip.

Sloppy game thus far.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 06:54:28 PM

Oh, and the Bud Light and Doritos commercials were great.

Somehow I don't think there were a lot of black people helping to design the Toyata Venza.

Bruce and his wife look pretty rough in HD.

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 08:10:00 PM

I always feel guilty for how much I don't like Bruce Springsteen.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 08:13:30 PM

Bruce is great. He doesn't really translate well to playing the Super Bowl, though.

BigDun · February 01, 2009, 08:21:23 PM

That was a better half time show than most of the last decades worth of overblown productions. A band playing live with no pre-recorded vocals and no major stage/field acts.

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 08:24:06 PM

I was bored.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 08:26:21 PM

Next year it will be Jackson Browne or Cat Stevens.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 08:27:04 PM

Now that Metallica is in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, they can play a halftime show.

Would have preferred Michael Jackson gathering up children and ripping off a bustier while people in silver lame' twirl colored flags in time with ninja dancers?

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 08:31:20 PM

Next year it'll be someone's corpse with their music playing behind them.

Infobahn · February 01, 2009, 08:31:42 PM

Cat Stevens won't make it through security.

BigDun · February 01, 2009, 08:38:35 PM

Monster.com just won with lots of win.

The thing that has made Pixar better than everyone else is that everyone is their target market. Their films appeal to all ages. They wouldn't be so successful if they just skewered towards kids.

Up looks slight for a Pixar film. It probably isn't, but it looks it.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 09:02:18 PM

Great Coke commercial.

I liked the rip-off Coke Zero ad too.

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 09:21:35 PM

Dude. Hammer and McMahon were awesome.

I mean, sad, but awesome.

BigDun · February 01, 2009, 10:02:27 PM

Wow, this game got really good.

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 10:04:20 PM

Santonio Holmes got it instead. He deserved it, big plays at the right time.

I was so cheering for Warner and Fitzgerald. I think they are both class acts and I like when classy people get accolades for good things. It's always better than some douche thug getting to preen for an award-Ricky Henderson, I'm pointing at you ya freakin' asshat.

It was an excellent second half!

VikingJuice · February 01, 2009, 10:25:37 PM

Anyone else notice how Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin looks JUST LIKE Omar Epps? It bugs me every time I see him. I keep thinking he should be making Mod Squad part 6 or some other equally bad piece of pony loaf.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 10:25:52 PM

He really does. He's also more articulate than most coaches.

Jessie · February 01, 2009, 10:31:29 PM

I noticed that he's hot, if that counts.

Beefy · February 01, 2009, 10:34:35 PM

Cardinals coach is also articulate and honest. Classy.

Nah, Monsters vs. Aliens is a Dreamworks production. Pixar's next release is "Up" IIRC.

Ahhh. I liked the last visual in Up. Dunno how it's going to pan out.

The Dreamworks thing just baffled me.

Did anyone else have 3D glasses for the dreamworks trailer? It was, IMHO, pathetic. The 3D in the sobe commercial was better.
